A change in weather conditions for Day 6 of the Tokyo Games Sailing events with light 6 to 8 knot winds across the courses at Enoshima.
In the women’s 470 Hannah Mills and Eilidh McIntyre sailed a consistant 3, 3, in their two races to remain in second place and four points off the leaders Agnieszka Skrzypulec and Jolanta Ogar of Poland.
Skrzypulec and Ogar recovered from a 13 in the first race, with a win in the second. The first race was won by Camille Lecointre and Aloise Retornaz (1, -12) of France who retain third place.
Overall this leading trio have an 11 point advantage over fourth placed Ai Kondo Yoshida and Miho Yoshioka (2, 2) of Japan who had the best score of the day.
In the men’s 470, Mathew Belcher and Will Ryan (4, 3) of Australia extended their lead ahead of Britain’s Luke Patience and Chris Grube (-10, 5) to 11 points.
New Zealand’s Paul Snow-Hansen and Dan Willcox (5, 7) move into third, with Spain’s Jordi Xammar and Nicolas Rodriguez (-14, 1) also moving up with a win in the second race.
Winners of the first race were Diogo and Pedro Costa of Portugal, in 12th overall.
The women’s Radial completed their qualification series, but no good news for Team GB’s Alison Young (14,-27) who will contest the Medal race, but is out of contention in tenth place.
Denmark’s Anne-Marie Rindom goes through as leader despite a difficult day on the water, her lead slashed from 21 points to 7 after scoring a 26 and DNF. In second place is Marit Bouwmeester (1, 7) of Holland, in third Josefin Olsson (22,10) of Sweden.
Rindom pulled out of the second race believing that an earlier disqualification, prevented her continuing in the restart, when she could have continued to race.
Worse news for Britain in the men’s Laser where Elliot Hanson missed the cut following a DSQ in the final race, he finished in12th overall.
Australia’s Matt Wearn made sure of the gold, finishing the qualification series with a 22 point lead to take into the Medal race.
Main contenders for the silver and bronze will be Hermann Tomasgaard NOR with 71 points, Tonci Stipanovic CRO with 74 and Pavlos Kontides CYP with 76.
The Radial and Laser Medal races are on Sunday 1 August.
Britain’s Dylan Fletcher and Stuart Bithell (2, -16, 3) retain their lead in the men’s 49er, but now tied on 34 points with Pete Burling and Blair Tuke (3, 6, 2) of New Zealand, who finally make an appearance in the top three.
Spain’s Diego Botin and Iago Lopez Marra (-15, 2, 6) are in second place, only one point off the leading pair.
Race wins were scattered through the fleet in the difficult conditions.
Race 7 went to Erik Heil and Thomas Ploessel of Germany, race 8 to Lukasz Przybytek and Pawel Kolodzinski of Poland, and the final win to Portugal’s Jorge Lima and Jose Costa.
The women’s 49erFX faced a dropping breeze, almost a drifter for the final race (R9) of the day, and that rewrote the leaderboard.
New leaders are Annemiek Bekkering and Annette Duet of Holland, a 12, 5, 6, moving them into the lead while a -16, 14, 15, dropped Britain’s Charlotte Dobson and Saskia Tidey down to fourth overall, now seven points off the leader.
In second are Tamara Echegoyen and Paula Barcelo (13, 4, 5) of Spain and up into third, Martine Grael and Kahena Kunze (1, 6, 11).
Other winners were, Argentinas Victoria Travascio and Maria Sol Branz in race 8 and Aleksandra Melzacka and Kinga Loboda of Poland in race 9.
All results subject to protest . . .
